Overview
The amir Abu al-Hayja al-Samin was among the greatest and bravest of the Salahi amirs, according to Ibn al-Athir. Al-Kanz killed his brother, who was amir in his fief in Upper Egypt, so Abu al-Hayja marched against him with a group of amirs and troops sent by Salah al-Din. He took the city of Tawd, then overtook al-Kanz and killed him and those with him in 570 AH. 2
